My resume PDF looks different from the preview
Last updated 1 April 2026
If your exported PDF looks different from the on-screen preview, try these steps:
Use Chrome browser: RoleGrowth works best on Chrome. Safari can cause rendering differences.
Switch to Chrome if you are using a different browser.
Check for content overflow: if your resume is spilling onto 2 pages unexpectedly,
move the Spacing slider towards Compact, shorten some bullet points to under 120 characters,
or remove optional sections like awards or extra certifications.
Try re-exporting: click Export PDF again. Temporary rendering glitches resolve on a second attempt.
Special characters: unusual symbols or special characters can sometimes cause layout shifts.
Remove any non-standard punctuation from your contact information.
Font differences: PDFs use embedded fonts. Minor differences between screen and PDF rendering
are cosmetic and will not affect how recruiters see your resume.
Still having problems?
Email support@rolegrowth.com with a screenshot of the preview and the exported PDF,
your browser name and version, and your operating system.
We investigate and resolve within 24 hours.
